Summary
                SharePoint Admins can soon manage guest app permissions using SharePoint Online Management Shell cmdlets.

Admins must download the latest SharePoint PowerShell version to prepare.


More Information

SharePoint Embedded Administrators will be able to grant guest applications permission to SharePoint Embedded applications within their tenant using cmdlets in SharePoint Online Management Shell. A guest application is defined as any application within the enterprise applications of the owning tenant.

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in mid-October 2024 and expect to complete by late October 2024.
